Time for a senior tour .
Ok
Senior tour for what? Tiddlywinks, Canasta, Bridge, Pin The Tail on The Donkey?
Cmon, spill the beans.
Isn’t that what the NPFL is going to naturally turn in to?
Well at least you left out the old standard Bass Board line of “Somebody Needs To Start” in your post.Quote:

I tried to start a Senior Bass club years ago go zero response.
Did you post it at all the Golden Corral locations? :laugh:Quote:

Like it or not, tournament bass fishing isn't made up of 40-60 year old men anymore. I'm 65, and quit fishing competitively at 50. I don't get all the hate for the youg guys and FFS. It's boring to watch but it's always been boring to the majority of folks.

There are better things to watch other than fishing. Like Reacher.
Probably LOLQuote:

I would forget where I put my fish. Maybe I didn’t have any?
Come fish my quasi club, mostly 40+.

A Denny Brauer /Tommy Biffle fight could be fun to watch.
Just what the world needs, a tournament for men who can no longer compete
9.9 hp limit?
We have one here and you have to be 50 years old to fish it. I'm fishing it with my son this year....now I really feel like a senior :laugh:
Geritol and AARP will be the major sponsors :doh:
You win the internet today!
Exactly. We need less tours not more.Quote:

I’d be in. But needs to be 65 and older. None here.
That stinks, normally here is 60 and older. I will say, the older I get, 6 hours is perfect.Quote:

Started one in our club. 60 or older, all tournaments are high/low, 9:00 - 3:00 pm, Fish alone or with a partner, next weeks lake decided after weigh in. Tournaments start after regular club tournament season over. We all had a great time and can't wait for this season.
I fish the Ohio Retirement Bass Series every other Thursday from mid-April until mid-October. One team member must be at least 55 years old. And, for what it's worth, if you aren't using FFS, you're fishing for 3rd through 5th place.
Do you really think there is anymore hate for the young guys than there is hate and making fun of the old guys?Quote:

I tried to join a club as non-boater this year and one person reached out. He said that I would be the youngest of the 15-18 boat field w/ exception of two teams. I'm 64. I decided against it. I will not accept being handicapped fishing with an old geezer. Denial is the first step to recovery, right?
At the place I retired from, whenever the young guys broke my balls, I always replied, yeah it's nice you're having fun, but the sad part is, you'll be dead before you reach my age. They wouldn't show it, but I can guarantee some thought about it afterwards
I fished a trail with a group of guys I have known for years. It was expensive as all but one tournament was out of town, we always fished on Fridays. There were a few younger guys (in their 30's) that knew the guy who did all the planning. The rest of us were either over 60 or right at it. I fished it for a couple of years with my old tournament partner. We won quite a few of them. Neither of us have great electronics. As a matter of fact the guy I fished with has a 20+ year old boat that not one gauge worked on and he had one depth finder at the console on a swivel mount. No depth finder up front and no spot lock trolling motor. We were "big timing" it when we fished out of my tin rig with two HDS 7's and the Ultrex. :laugh:.
Good times, but even when we won it would barely cover the cost of an out of town trip.
ORSB-OHIO RIVER SENIOR BASS= 50 YRS OLD AND UP-findem on facebook
I’m ok with a 6 hour event. But have to start at first light.
